On Android, you must set the INTERNET
permission within the build.settings
file to record and send analytics data.
You may optionally set the ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION
and ACCESS_COARSE_LOCATION
permissions if you want Flurry to record the end user's current location such as latitude and longitude. If you do not set these location permissions, Flurry can only record the country that the app was used in, based on the device's locale and region settings. Note that if you add these location permissions, you should not require device features like GPS, as doing so may prevent downloading of the app on a device without these features.
